Children's Programming
At PCML we believe that the library is a gateway to education. We plan and present programming that gives parents, as a baby's first teacher, the tools and skills to build a print rich environment in the home. We support family and early literacy by presenting programs for toddlers through high school. We are especially proud of our A2Z program, which is a school-year long program that works with 4 year-olds on letter recognition, phonemic awareness, fine and gross motor skills and socialization, all to help "our kids" get ready for kindergarten.
